The Gospel of Mark resounds with the dynamic power of the Lord Jesus Christ, a message desperately needed in an age of aggressive evil and apathetic faith. In what is perhaps the most dramatic and action-packed of the Synoptic Gospels, Mark's writing continues to call for increased commitment, and R. Kent Hughes preaches it with that pace intact.

The volume follows Mark's own structure: the rush of the opening chapters, the turn at Caesarea Philippi, the three passion predictions, and the long final week in Jerusalem. Hughes keeps the title's two words in view throughout, Christ as servant and as Savior, which is Mark's own framing in chapter 10. Two volumes bound in one, in the Preaching the Word series.
